Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hello!Sorry to hear that you didn´t get a response from England. Was it GTAudio(www.gtaudio.com) you´ve contacted? Now, China is a different story. I don´t have a distributor in China, so who was it you tried to get in touch with?Besides all of th... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hello Nghiep,I take the first part of your post as a compliment, but have to say that other types of tonearm bearing designs had not vanished. Just consider the Well Tempered Arm which many find similar to my arms. When it entered the market in 19... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hello Nghiep,First of all, Mr. Well Tempered's name is Bill Firebaugh.Secondly, you're off on a number of your assessments. The eff. mass of ,say, gimballed vs. suspended arms doesn't differ as implied in your post. It is the application of dampin...

Hello 4yamx,Hmmm, my impressions on CLD materials.... First of all we'd have to look at the application: plinth, platter, armboard, tonearm wand, etc..I guess you were refering to the use of CLD in armboards.Conventional("rigidly" coupled) tonarms... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hello Raul,Sorry to say this, but unless you give me the serial# I won't be able to tell you the eff. mass of that particular arm. Since this arm was likely sold through an importer/dealer I wouldn't know who the customer is(nor do I care). I assu...

Hi everyone,Sorry, I was/am busy setting up/demoing turntables at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I'm going to be on my way again shortly, so you'll have to wait sometime longer for a CLD related response. Raul, please send me a message with the se...

Dear Raul,First of all, you're bragging about your knowledge of music. And your examples might impress a school kid, but please, spare me the obvious.Secondly, you might try to understand why your posts create such emotions: laughter, boredom...Th...

Just a quick one...The thread/string material is the same on the Ref.and No.2 arms. The No.1 arm has been discontinued(well, still available on special request...)best regards,Frank 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hi Doug,Thanks for your kind words. I'd like to point out though that the bearing is just one(albeit an important one) element of the arm. Since vou can't depend on dissipating energy via the arm's base you need to deal with it further up the line...

Dear sirspeedy,Yes, the arm wiring has a tremendeous influence on the overall resulting fidelity. But it isn't enough to look at different conducting materials, the insulation, the solder joints, the cartridge clips and, very importantly, the armw...

Hello Paul,Writing from beautiful Colorado right now. I'm afraid I can't give you a definitive answer regarding the fibre versus lead question. If your machinist refers to "Hartgewebe", phenolic resin impregnated cotton(or other fibres)heat/pressu... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hi Paul,It depends upon the arm you intend to mount(among other things the material it is made of). Some will sound better on the aluminum board, others you´ll prefer when mounted on the brass board(all dimensions being equal..)I´ve yet to hear a ... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Hi one more time,One thing I forgot. The Reference arm is often equipped with a high purity, very thin solidcore wiring that has a higher series resistance that most wires. This will result in a slightly lower output which needs to be compensated ... 
DIY tonearm, the US Patent Office has many tonearm
Dear Nghiep,Sorry for kicking in here but your previous post stated that my arms use some form of ball bearing. That is not correct. It`s a magnetically stabilized and damped torsion bearing. And yes, a DIY attempt to recreate the bearing, not to ...
